    Turner's Rep - Wait For Ammo Sales

    For the Turner's rep - I was in a Turners store last week to buy a box of ammo, and waited in line for nearly an hour for a literally 1 minute transaction. Are there any plans to streamline this so that we don't have to wait for all the gun sales and pickups to take place just to grab a box of ammo? I understand the state stuck everything behind the counter, but surely there can be a better way to serve your customers. Thanks for your consideration.
    I'm not that happy to see you - It's a gun.

    This situation was expected.

    This sort of thing is also just what the left was hoping for . . . . create a system that is so arduous and inconvenient that some firearms users will reduce their hobby, or even stop entirely.

    On another note, if you're buying ammo one box at a time, you're doing it wrong.

    edit: unless you consider a box to be a 1000 rd case

      Turner's generally blows, so probably the answer is "not there".

        My local Turners Pasadena has a salesmen/women asking if anyone wanted ammo only. Didnt need a number at all.

          Just the hoops us law abiding citizens go through. Think the thugs grab numbers at Turners?

            Norwalk same thing.
            Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
            I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                Time is money. Spend $120, get your C&R and COE, and buy ammo online, shipped directly to your house, at prices significantly cheaper than turners.

                  Thanks for reaching out. As of now we are working on a more streamlined process but as others have mentioned, most stores are asking in between numbers if there is anyone waiting to just buy ammo. We know this isn't the most elegant process and we are trying to find something better.

                      Personally I would not wait more than a few minutes. Too many options within a few miles drive.

                        That store also needs the same thing for "pickup day" on firearms.

                            We've tried the pick up only thing before. Never seems to work out. Many people like the idea of them skipping the line to grab their gun and leave until they are the one waiting in line and someone else jumps ahead of the. It's very hard to standardize the process because not every dros or pick up is exactly the same. I know many of you guys are squared away and have current ID, reg and proof of residency ready to go, but as I'm sure the awed looks you've gotten have shown you that seems to be a rare occurrence. Many times there is back and forth for what is needed and what works, documents that are wrong name or missing vital information. We've found that on the whole, everyone waiting their turn in line seems to be the most fair.

                              The Corona store usually has a person just asking for people who need ammo

They hate republicans that much and are in that level of denial about what their party is about. They just simply can't handle the cognitive dissonance...." -Skilletboy
